Does anyone know what are the most typical damages the sae water can cause if ski left unflushed for several weeks besides the engine freeze. I have noticed the water squarting from the muffler unit. Can that corrode out? What else can go bad on 720 SD?

Re: Sea water damage
Yes, if used in salt water the pipe will rust out and need replacement. It doesn't help the other parts any, but the block itself won't break - it will clog up with deposits eventually, as well as the rest of the passages.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

Re: Sea water damage
What would be your suggestion in obtaining the pipe (I assume the exhaust pipe?) considering that I am not willing to pay top $$$ for new one. I found one spot that corroded on the pipe and had it welded but now that I am replacing the whole engine I would like to do the whole thing. The ski has 20-30 hrs and body is otherwise in perfect shape. How much shoul I pay for the used pipe? SD GTI 720 1997. Also where can I learn about the cooloing system on these motors?Comment
